Raise Your Own Baby Zombie

An iPhone App for the Tamagotchi and Giga Pet nostalgic.

Instead of carrying around those neon colored, egg-like little key chains like you did in the ‘90s, the Zombigotchi digital pet is an app that lets you create and care for your own pet zombie on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. As you play, you’ll be able to unlock up to five characters, two sub-games, and collect all 25 zombie cards. Baby zombie’s life is centered around feeding (duh). Watch him put away bars of raw flesh, slurp concentrated blood (from a Campbell’s-looking soup can), or let him guzzle, hamster-style, from a bottle. (He likes blood type A+ by the way.)

Those who need to work through their fear of zombies (or maybe misplace some aggression on an inanimate object) will be happy to know you can beat up your zombie if you want to…he’ll even spew blood if you rip off his arms. But the little guy is so cute, we’re sure you’ll enjoy scratching him with a cheese grater or watching him hug a teddy bear more. Pretty soon his adorable grunting and groaning will be lulling you to sleep instead of fueling your nightmares…he’s definitely a lot less creepy than that disturbed Furby once imprisoned under your bed.
